Stamp of Approval

Silver Border Rules Query

Silver border rules question: are expansion symbol, watermark, and artist copiable characteristics? e.g. if I make a token copy of a creature with a watermark, could Stamp of Approval give it +1/+1?

Yes, copy effects copy all qualities for purposes of caring about them. Note they copy what’s on the specific card copied.

Pre-release Stamp Query

Does a date stamped on some prerelease cards count as a watermark? I think it fits the flavor and intent of goofy watermark-matters cards, and I love the idea of the ink-splattered goblins from Stamp of Approval cranking out prerelease promos!

No, a date stamp is not a watermark. Why? Because it’s not a watermark. I will jot down a note for “date stamping” potentially mattering on a future Un-card.

Watermark Rule

Hi Mark! If I have a Stamp of Approval in play choosing Phyrexia watermark, does it pump Oculus from Mirrodin Besieged, Phyrexian Obliterator from Masters 25 and an animated Phyrexian Scriptures from Dominaria? Or are those considered different watermarks?

I rule all the same watermark.

Phyrexian Watermarks

Hey Mark, seeing as certain (or maybe all) cards from Masters 25 will have watermarks based on set symbols, I was wondering if the set symbol for new phyrexia and the symbol for the phyrexian-allied cards from the original set would all count as "Phyrexian" for cards like Stamp of Approval.

I’ll say they all count as Phyrexian. It’s the same symbol.

RTR RAV Watermarks

Are RTR and RAV watermarks different for the sake of stamp of approval? they both have the same name in oracle.

The guild symbols are treated the same. The Simic symbol is the Simic symbol. Same for the Khans clan symbols.

Fraying Sanity pretty much doubles milling. One of yours, Mark?

It is not, but it has my official Maro Stamp of Approval.
